Abstract

The assembly consists of a lengthwise arm (1, 2) for each rear wheel hub (3, 4), connected at their forward end (11, 21) to the vehicle chassis, and a cross-member (5), also fixed to the chassis. It differs by the inclusion of two cradle arms (6, 7), slightly curved in shape, connected at one end to brackets (8, 9) on the forward ends of the lateral arms (1, 2) and at the other to the cross-member. The cradle arms converge rearwards in a V-shape and are able to deform in the event of a rear-end collision so that their forward ends are pushed outwards.
